“…To this end, an anti-microbial and algae-static nanofilm (containing silica-modified quaternary ammonium compounds) was synthesized in an effort to replace chlorine-based water disinfection methods. This nanofilm effectively limited the viability and adhesion of E. coli and Microcystis aeruginosa , respectively [ 48 ].…”

Surface active agents (SAAs) are molecules with the capacity to adsorb to solid surfaces and/or fluid interfaces, a property that allows them to act as multifunctional ingredients (e.g., wetting and dispersion agents, emulsifiers, foaming and anti-foaming agents, lubricants, etc.) in a widerange of the consumer products of various industrial sectors (e.g., pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, personal care, detergents, food, etc.). Given their widespread utilization, there is a continuously growing interest to explore their role in consumer products (relevant to promoting human health) and how such information can be utilized in order to synthesize better chemical derivatives. In this review article, weaimed to provide updated information on synthetic and biological (biosurfactants) SAAs and their health-promoting properties (e.g., anti-microbial, anti-oxidant, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and anti-aging) in an attempt to better define some of the underlying mechanism(s) by which they exert such properties.

“…Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are already well known and were initially accepted by the regulatory agencies for their use as commercial sanitizers and disinfectants. As with polycations, various approaches can be applied to have QAC bond covalently to surfaces [ 78 , 79 ]. Immobilized QACs are hyperbranched polymers can serve as coatings having viricidal properties against enveloped viruses [80] , such as the herpes simplex viruses [ 81 , 82 ].…”

Classical and alternative disinfection strategies to control the COVID-19 virus in healthcare facilities: a review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The coronavirus disease COVID-19 has spread throughout the world and has been declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11th, 2020. The COVID-19 is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). One possible mode of virus transmission is through surfaces in the healthcare settings. This paper reviews currently used disinfection strategies to control SARS-CoV-2 at the healthcare facilities. Chemical disinfectants include hypochlorite, peroxymonosulfate, alcohols, quaternary ammonium compounds, and hydrogen peroxide. Advanced strategies include no-touch techniques such as engineered antimicrobial surfaces and automated room disinfection systems using hydrogen peroxide vapor or ultraviolet light.
